 Messrs. Thomas Mcclellan, William E. Miller and Warren Vernoy returned Monday from their gold prospecting trip, about forty miles south of Tucson. They found some very r1ch placer ground, but tiles many miles from wa ter, and for this reason they made no To- cations.
 Mir. John Ruckelshsusen struck a large ledge of the best character of gold bearing quartz this week. near the rIyer, few miles below Florence. Some of the rock shows free gold. No work has been done on the ledge and 1t is impos- slble to estimate the importance of tue strike at present, but the indications are certainly very favorable.
 4. Schuster & O., of the San Pedro ranch, this county, have purchased ranch In New Mexico and are preparing to drive 2,OOO head of steers from here = their new range. Their range here l4- stocked almost to its full capaclty ana no room is left for their large annual iL' crease, hence the removal of tbe 2OOL steers to thelr new ranca.
 Messrs. Al. Atkinson and John C Loss located n gold mine in the QusJst | district on the 1st. and had some oS the rock sent into Casa Grsnde last week It IS sprinkled all over with free gold and could be worked at a profit by the arFestrB process.

 Parties who are engaged in raising | Irish potatoes III the Sierra Ancha: | brought down a ton of them to COloneI | Williams, of the Williams House, Silver King recently, and he found many po- tatOes among the lot that weighed three | pounds.

 On the first of January Afr. Jesse H Brown located the old Garfield mine at Silver King. Monday he was walking over the property snd noticed piece oi mineral apparently lying upon the sur face ef the ground, He investigated and found 1t was the croppings of five. inch stratum of ore containing 6 large per cent Of silver glance and Bromide oi silver, He has not had the ore sssayed yet. but experts think it will run seversl hundred dollars per ton.
 Mir. J, J. Devine returned from Plnsl this week. He went thither to examine some new work just completed upon the old Bowman mine. The work consisted of a crosscut on the vein at the bottom of sn old shaft, and the result was the discovery of some very fine ore. Money to the amount of about 5000 has been expended in prospecting this property, hut the superintendent exercised no judgment in directing the work and but little of 1t touched the vein, therefore the real worth of the vein cannot be es- timsted by the mesgre showing of ore in the various openings outside of the lead.
